Since its launch in July 2018, Singapore Positive Education Network (SPEN) has been looking to organizing a conference to bring together practitioners, researchers and the community who firmly believe that well-being and the pursuit of excellence at work and in school go hand-in-hand. We are pleased that we have this opportunity to partner Principals Academy to launch the inaugural Positive Education Summit. We are especially grateful to have the support of international stalwarts in Positive Education share their thoughts and experiences with us and thank the many practitioners who will be on the panels to tell us how they have enhanced students and staff well-being and mental health amid the challenges of the pandemic and disruptive technology.

 

SPEN is closely associated with the International Positive Education Network, a ground-up movement which has Prof Martin Seligman as Emeritus President and Sir Anthony Seldon as President. I’d like to thank Sir Anthony for graciously recording his words of support for SPEN and this inaugural summit. Together with IPEN, we affirm our belief in a world where wellbeing character and resilience education are core elements of the global education ecosystem.
